Slow Me Down       By: Howie Askay


Living outside on the edge of town
Looking at the sky when the sun goes down
Close my eyes I begin to think
How hard can it be

I went to school just the other day
It’s been thirty plus years since I went that way
Shaking hands with some old friends
They began to tell me how hard it’s been

(CHORUS) Slow me down, it’s as rough as it’s ever been
Slow me down, and my pride is wearing thin
Well I’ve been taught to take my shot
Even when I think I’m right or not
Slow me down, this is now and that is when

Me and my friends were the only guys
Who walked the halls with wide open eyes
Looking for trouble to begin to start
Or just a kid who fell apart

I told my friends and I apologized
That I didn’t catch what happened to you guys
If I could go back and change it all
Would your skin be as thick as the springs rainfall

(CHORUS)

Wait, when they told me how it’s been
Wait, shaking hands with some old friends

(CHORUS)
